In this black and white lantern slide, the residence of Edward Rosewater is being moved from its original location at 1810 Harney Street in Omaha, Nebraska. The house is raised on pilings, and is approaching its new site, south of Wise Memorial Hospital on the southwest corner of 24th Avenue and Harney Street. The house has two stories and wooden siding. The brick wall of one of the wings of the hospital can be seen on the right side of the image.
